Explosives detection systems (EDS) for aviation security
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detection of explosives and illicit material for the purposes of aviation security is an important area for preventing terrorism and smuggling. A number of di-erent methods of explosive detection have been developed in the past that can detect such material from a very small up to a very large quantity. For the purposes of aviation security, the checks are performed on passengers, their carry on luggage, checked baggage, and cargo containers. Similar technology is used in post-o2ces for detecting dangerous substances in mail. In this paper we review some of these technologies and in particular discuss the application of computers for the analysis of data and images generated from security equipment. ? 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Application of Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance to Detection of Explosives and Research Activities at CIAE
The detection of explosives is a challenging topic. The nitrogen-14 nuclear quadrupole resonance technique exploits the transitions between the energy levels split by the quadrupole interaction to detect the presence of explosives. It is a very promising new technique owing to its unambiguous detection and identification of explosives with low false alarm, high sensitivity and fast detection. T...
متن کاملTo Aviation Security Sloan School of Management an Operations Research Approach to Aviation Security
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, aviation security policy has remained a focus of national attention. We develop mathematical models to address some prominent problems in aviation security. We explore first whether securing aviation deserves priority over other potential targets. We compare the historical risk of aviation terrorism to that posed by other forms of terrorism and...
متن کاملSafety versus Security in Healthcare IT
Safety and security are different but closely related concepts. Security is especially relevant in domains like finance, and safety is especially relevant in domains like healthcare and aviation. We review some of the safety problems besetting healthcare IT systems, and we show that some problems are technically open to improvement. Given that there are almost-free technologies (e.g., as part r...
متن کاملInnovative X-ray Backscatter Technique for Security Applications: Detection of Dangerous Materials
Radiological inspections, in general, are NDT&E methods to detect the bulk of explosives without invasion into the object of analysis. In contrast to personal luggage, cargo or structural components constitute a complexity that may significantly hamper the detection of a threat by conventional transmission radiography. A novel approach of interrogating a large object to a certain depth only wit...

Security control is becoming a major global issue in strategic locations, such as airports, official buildings, and transit stations. The agencies responsible for public security need powerful and sensitive tools to detect warfare agents and explosives. Volatile signature detection is one of the fastest and easiest ways to achieve this task. However, explosive chemicals have low volatility maki...
